Hey folks! This summer I’m going to be giving some talks and conducting workshops around the Tristate, if you’d like to catch me without signing up for a multi-week class. Check out these great opportunities to hear me!

Warming Up Before Getting to Work

I’ve caught myself doing something stupid and I’m stopping it now. Besides being a writer, I’m also a gamer. Well, I try to be. My video-game playing started out when my sons were young and I made the rule that they couldn’t play a game until I had played it first so’s to pass judgment on it. In the process, I found many games I loved and have spent many wonderful hours with my sons, playing their games and talking about their lives. That will stop only when they pry the xbox controller from my red, dead hands. What I do need to curtail is playing before I work.
